![]() Lastly, have you budgeted for lighting? Also stands etc for your speakers, lighting, and controller? What about cables (plus spares)? Insurance? Do you have a large (and varied) enough music collection? If you are going down the mobile route you don't want to blow your budget on a controller when there is everything else to think about! Just some things to considerįor mobile DJing it sounds like you are going about it the wrong way. The other two controllers you mentioned will also do the job but if it's for mobile use then don't get too hung up on the effects side of things as they will simply not get used much- reliability, portability, and ruggedness are far more important. Yes it might be slightly more expensive than the others but it shouldn't be by much. It also now comes with the full version of Serato DJ. Very compact (but in a good way), insanely well built, and as DJ Highline points out it is extremely mobile DJ focused. I would also second the suggestion of the MC6000mk2- my colleague has one and we use it for most of our events where I don't want to take my decks and it is an incredible piece of kit. You will largely just be playing music with an emphasis on song programming rather than technical mixing / messing around with effects and stuff. Those things are cool when playing in a nightclub but for the type of music typically required at most mobile events they simply won't get used (nobody wants to hear you going crazy with the roll effect over Billy Jean for example). With the controllers it is largely personal preference but I wouldn't get too hung up on stuff like slip/flux mode and roll effect pads and stuff. The audience isn't really going to care what controller you are using where as they will care about the sound coming out of the speakers! Once that is sorted, then I would look at the controller options. ![]() This will sound far better than just a pair of 15" speakers (which will still need a sub to complement them anyway once you get a decent room full of people), and you'll be glad of the added portability of the 12" speakers over the heavier 15" ones. On that note, I would go for a quality pair of 12" speakers and then a sub (or two) to complement them (later on if necessary). ![]() You say the choice of controller will determine which speakers you can afford- when really you should be going for the best speakers you can afford first and then seeing what budget you have left to pick a controller. should I get the more "future-proof" S4, or the cheaper SR and deal with the 4 deck, 2 channel thing, but still save money and spend it on better speakers (as with the s4 I could only get 2 12" speakers and with the SR I could get 15"'s)?įor mobile DJing it sounds like you are going about it the wrong way. Also, with the money saved by getting the cheaper option (which is the pioneer), and spend the money on somewhere else (like better speakers - because I will be a mobile DJ, or maybe saving up to a new laptop - because what I have now is not that great - or an old lenovo with an i5 or an OLD toshiba with like a core 2 duo). The S4 appeals to me, because it actually has 4 channels, and it is an actual mixer (aka it has a sound card built in, and it will let me add more CDJ's in the future if I want), but the SR also appeals to me because it has larger jog wheels (I like me some big wheels), and I'm a bit of a pioneer fanboy (man I would love me some CDJ-2000nxs and a DJM900nxs), so YEAH. What do you think I should do? get the SR, or the S4? I want to start mobile DJ'ing, and my budget has let me down to these two controllers. ![]() First of all, I'm sorry in advanced for my bad spelling sometime, as i'm not living in an english speaking country, and auto-correction had crapped out.
